Default they say a pic is worth 1k words

but i had about 2000 negative words come to my mind when i saw a huge ass aluminum wing on an s2000. i thought they looked good....in the pics. but damn...this was the worst thing i have ever seen on a car just because is such a nice car that shouldnt have anything above 3inches above its trunk IMO. sounded nice. but could definately tell it was a rice punk in it cuz he burned out at the stoplight and redline all the way til 3rd just to come up on another light. (there was not a race considering there was a oldish accord and taurus next to it.)

i cant belive someone would do that...

no offense to you owners with gp wings...just expressing my opinion.

Has anyone, other than Spoon or someone else actually racing the car, checked these wings in a tunnel? What sort of L/D numbers do they generate? Those wings look like they are set at much too steep an angle to generate negative lift; those wings are in a permanent severe stall condition.

But hey, what do I know

Roger, S2K-123, you are cleared for takeoff on runway 5-Niner.

Seriously, though, I don't care for the big wings myself but, hey, that's why I don't have one on my car. It's all about personal taste...

Omigod, Honda Racer, please tell me that you are merely very good with Photoshop and that picture of all the obscenely spoilered S2000's is a fake!!! There could not be that many idiots on the planet that would ruin perfectly good S2000's with those disgusting spoilers. However, if the picture is real, it must have been taken in Southern California.

That pic was in Japan! They are really into GT-wing........I have one on my car as well and give you more downforce on the track!

Well, I guess it is just our age different!?

Yea, I could tell that it was in Japan becasue of the blue S2000. I wish I had a V-Type White Diamond Pearl with Tan interior and a tan top with a Navigation System (Which has a clock on it) with those cool cleared out sides and the 6 spoke rims.
